The Applied Mechanical Engineer provides applied mechanical engineering support for a novel advanced reactor design project. This position applies engineering principles to mechanical challenges involving the motion and dynamics of heat, gases, air, fluids, and solid materials to support the design of nuclear reactors and associated systems that operate safely, reliably, efficiently, and predictably.
The role performs system and component design, evaluation, documentation, testing, configuration management, fabrication oversight, and implementation in a multidisciplinary engineering environment. The engineer must be proficient in designing systems in accordance with applicable national consensus codes and standards, including the ASME B31 series and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
This is a six-month remote assignment requiring 40 hours per week (1,040 total hours) on a 4x10 schedule, Monday through Thursday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. Occasional travel to the INL site is expected, averaging approximately once per month for the duration of the contract.
